Solis Lough Eske Castle Wedding Caitriona + Tadhg

Congratulations to Caitriona and Tadhg who where married on the 12th December 2014 in Bruckless church followed by a Solis Lough Eske Castle Wedding reception for their family and friends. On the morning of the 12th December I had a very short journey to make to get to Caitriona’s parents house in Tullaghan where Caitriona along with her sisters and bridesmaids Geraldine and Grace where getting ready for the big day. On arrival the girls where busy with hair and makeup and the kettle was boiling away for cups of tea to keep the morning chill at bay. The view from the conservatory where the girls where was absolutely stunning with  a vista of Donegal bay and the snow capped mountains in the distance. As cold as it was that morning with a strong wind there where a few very brave souls making their way down the fields at the back of the house to surf in the big swell – complete mad men!

After we got our photos with the girls we made the journey down to the beautiful Bruckless church where Tadhg and his best mad John where busy meeting and greeting the arriving guests for the wedding ceremony. The church was lovely and warm inside and looked great with the floral displays of Ailin Gallagher from Kinlough who also did the wedding bouquets and hotel display. After the ceremony we all made our way to the beautiful Solis Lough Eske Castle for the wedding reception.

As it was just too cold and wet we didn’t get a chance to get any photos outside and as the daylight is non existent on a winters day in Ireland by the time it did clear up it was dark. The castle is a real joy to photograph a winter wedding in as it has so many beautiful features. We made use of the amazing staircase and the big chandeliers for one of my favorite wedding photos of the year. After we got the family photos done the guests made their way into the stunning ballroom for the meal and the speeches, the ballroom was decorated by Simply Divine Weddings and it looked totally amazing with so much attention to detail.

The sparkler shots where easy to get done as it was dark early and we only had to step out the front door onto the castle drive to get them completed and Junior bridesmaid Grace mad a great job of doing the letter O for us and everyone had a ball doing the shots before making our way back into the ballroom for the first dance. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Caitriona and Tadhg for allowing me to be part of their special day and would like to wish them both the very best of everything for their future.
